"(West Ham) were awful," Shearer told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I don't like using the word, but West Ham were pathetic. They offered nothing.
"Players pulling out of challenges, not throwing themselves at the ball, it was as bad as I've seen from any team."
Ex-West Ham striker Jermain Defoe also said, "The way you lose games is also important.
"You can talk about working hard, but everyone works hard. The difference is, can you compete? Will you win second balls, will you get a block in on the edge of the area? And West Ham just aren't competing."
